Personalized transformation
Every nose possesses unique characteristics, making patient-tailored approaches essential. Dr. Yager examines skin thickness, skeletal stability, and anatomical ideals to create a harmonious result. Computer imaging becomes a crucial tool, enabling you to visualize potential changes on your own face.
Balancing aesthetics
Rhinoplasty goes beyond aesthetics alone. Our surgeons examine the nose in relation to the lips and chin to ensure overall facial harmony. Beauty isn’t just about a perfect nose; it’s about a nose that perfectly harmonizes with your entire face.
How Rhinoplasty surgery works
Realistic Possibilities
While a "perfect" nose might not always be achievable, significant enhancements are within reach. The bridge can be adjusted, nostrils narrowed, and tips refined. Yet, maintaining your nose's unique definition hinges on preserving the thickness and quantity of skin.
Procedural Insights
Rhinoplasty's duration varies (30 minutes to 2 hours), with anesthesia chosen according to your needs. Stitches, sometimes internal, dissolve over time. Cartilage grafting, often your own, might be needed to enhance support. Recovery is tailored to comfort, avoiding nasal packing or splints.
Patience and Progress
Recovery involves elevation, mild swelling, and bruising. While returning to work takes 1–2 weeks, the final result reveals itself over a year. Pain is manageable with Tylenol or CBD oil, while reshaped bridges might require avoiding glasses for 6 weeks.

“One of the most rewarding procedures I do is cosmetic nasal surgery. I have to consider your skin thickness, bone structure, and the position of your other facial features to achieve the ideal nose for your particular face, and this ideal is different for each person.”
